Tia Kingston wasnt an ordinary girl. Shed had a good life, some would say privileged until her mother died. Despised by a father who wouldnt even look at her most of the time, Tia had never known why. She knew her mother was there to protect her. Then suddenly, she wasnt. Thrown into a mans world, she learned to do the chores of a rancher. She knew how to care for horses and cattle. By age twelve, she could outride and outshoot most of the men. She could fix fences and stand by when a mare needed help birthing a foal. Her only restrictions were based on her petite frame and weight, rules that were enforced by the ranch manager. By that time, her father, who was ill and a drunkard, tried to force a marriage on her. When Hayward Kingston died, Tia thought she would finally have control of her life, but nothing could have been farther from the truth.

Good at his job, Robert had finally reached a point where he had difficulty looking at himself in the mirror. He was successful, but this wasnt why hed gone to law school. When a friend from college sent him a letter about thugs invading his friends small town, he was interested but didnt know what he could do about it.

Meanwhile, a young woman had been forced out of her rightful inheritance. Shed taken her younger brother and gone into hiding. Nodding as he finished the letter, Robert wrote back immediately. He had a lot to do to untangle himself from his current job, but he would do it quickly. A young woman needed legal assistance, and he was going to Stone Falls, Texas, to help her.
